Re: MTCA Legacy Scholarship and Bursary Award: Update

2022-JUL-28-2123Hrs

Hello,

We are happy to report that our donation drive for the MTCA Legacy Scholarship and Bursary Award was a tremendous success, thanks in large part to the generous support of many Mausican alumni, family and friends of Mausica in Canada and the US. Ten thousand dollars ($10K Can.) will be donated to the UTT to provide scholarships and bursaries  in the academic year 2022-2023 to students in their final year of the Ba Ed programme. Stringent selection criteria and reporting requirements by UTT are outlined in an updated (draft) MOU, which reflects the results of discussions and agreements between us and the new T&T team led by Dr Hazel Ann Gibbs DePeza.  The (draft) MOU was reviewed by two lawyers in Toronto (children of Mausica alumni), who provided useful suggestions to ensure the integrity of the process and the protection of the funds. Their free advice and assistance are greatly appreciated.

The (draft) MOU was just forwarded to UTT and once agreement is reached, it will be signed by the President of the UTT and our MTCA Alumni representative. The funds will only be sent (by wire transfer) once this is accomplished, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. We will continue to keep you apprised of our progress with this important initiative. If you have any questions, suggestions or concerns, we would love to hear from you; please feel free to contact any member of our team, as below, or Dr. De Peza in T&T.

Thankx and Stay Safe.
